Judging from the quick response during the review and the fact that he has had IRC contact with the reviewer which is described as positive by the reviewer (Andreas Thienemann), and because the initial package was of ok quality (only minor changes needed) and the few issues left were fixed without the packager needing any handholding. I concider the packager (Hugo Cisneiros (hugo@xxxxxxxxxxxx)) ready for sponsoring. I'm however new to the whole sponsoring business, is the fact that I believe him to be ready good enough? Are my standards high enough or am I to easy with trusting someone?
